Adding a fresh twist to its adult-oriented Icons collection, LEGO has officially announced a unique addition for 2023. The newly unveiled 40634 ‘Icons of Play’ set breaks the norm, stepping into the realm of football, specifically showcasing the rising influence and popularity of women’s football.
It even marks LEGO’s foray into sports sponsorship, as evident in their support for the Women’s Euros last year. The ‘Icons of Play’ set stands out with a roster of 15 LEGO Minifigures.
This includes exclusive representations of real-life football icons Megan Rapinoe, Yuki Nagasato, Sam Kerr, and Asisato Oshoala. Besides these prominent figures, the set also incorporates a manager, a referee, and eight spectators adorning the red football kit that mirrors the LEGO Ideas Foosball table design.
The build invites LEGO enthusiasts to construct half a football pitch, embellished with the defining white lines of a penalty box and a goal for one of the included goalkeepers. To complete the stadium feel, the set includes a spectator stand, dugouts, and a petite trophy stand for post-match celebrations.
With its release on 6th June 2023, this 899-piece set, priced at £89.99 / $99.99 / €99.99, is set to offer an engaging and exciting building experience for LEGO Icons collectors.
